If you're not interested in the story.. skip to the last paragraph in red.. like this one.. obviously.
I mean seriously.. Am i the only one with this stupid problem.. I restart the phone after somehow the system crashes..
and find the phone with no launcher.. yah.. actually there's no launcher.. and a continuous bootanimation?
WTF??
Actually.. after i turn the phone On.. the so called Bootanimation keeps playing and playing..
and i can still feel the Unlock slider thing.. that it's there..
Well, the phone is obviously functioning Normally .. but with the bootanimation on.. and on.. and on...... and on.
What i do is.. I miss call my self.. the screen shows that some1 is calling..
after i disconnect or do whatever.. the screens lights up.. and comes back to life.. with NO LAUNCHER.
only whatever i used.. which shows in Recent apps.. If i just could get the damn files explorer up!
Well, now i'm wondering.. is there anyway.. ANYWAY..
i can install a Launcher.. without having to do that through the phone????
or somehow open the files explorer?
If you have no launcher, you should flash one via recovery. Find an update zip with an app (such as a modded music app) and replace that apk with a launcher apk.

Thanks Chris.. But can you provide me with such update.zip.. Please?
I'm so sorry man.
I would do it for you but I'm from the phone right now.
Just get my zip with the xperia fonts. Delete the "fonts" folder which is inside the "system" folder.
Now, create a folder on your desktop and name it "app", lower case! Put the apk of the launcher you want there.
Next, drag that folder into the "system" folder of my zip.
So now it's zip/system/app/thelauncher.apk
Flash that and you should have a launcher now.

So I noticed that CM6 Froyo Remix ROM was missing the Genie weather and the customizable Power Control widget. I use only those two widgets on a daily basis and it would be nice if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've already tried Googling and downloading a transparent Genie widget from another site but after installing the widget, my phone had to force close the app maybe because it wasn't compatible?
Anyways, it would be nice if somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!
maybe u can try beautiful widget instead
I've already tried that app and honestly it isn't my cup of tea.
Is it possible to just extract the genie apk from a ROM and install it onto the one I'm currently using?

thats probably because you have to completely uninstall the old one first
go into root explorer or whatever file manage you use and DELETE the newsandweather or geniewidge apk
then reboot, just to be sure
then install it
bet it works then

This ROM I'm currently using didn't come with the Genie weather apk at all. I also confirmed this by using ASTRO to search in the apps folder.

then it may be permissions
paste it in system/app
set it for rw-r--r like the other system apps
then reboot, it will install it on boot up
been awhile since i used it, i forgot about this

I'm sorry but can you tell the procedure step by step with which app I'll be needing to get this accomplished?
Thanks in advanced!

Nvm... I just Googled it myself. C;
I used to ADB to remove the GenieWidget.apk and used this command to reinstall the transparent widget:
adb remount
adb push GenieWidget.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
I'm sure majority of the people here already know how to do all this but I'm typing this as a reference in case I flash my phone again.
Hmm tried to install this on CM6-RC1, but now i can't load my new & weather anymore lol.
Luckily i made a backup.
Where can i get these apps I know the apex 8.1 rom uses them but im trying another rom and id like to have these two apps. I backed them up with titanium but i guess its not working because it wont let me restore them.
It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

Guys sorry I'm still a noob in this kinda thing... Just wanna ask if anyone can show me STEP-BY-STEP how to push install 'application not installed' apps into system using root explorer. I tried copy the file into /system/app and already changed the permission to rw-r-r, and after that I'm kinda blurred cuz dunno to install ORIGINAL or COPY file. And by using file explorer or root explorer to install the file? For example I want to change stock launcher to other launcher, but still fail until now. thanks...

It seems to be you want arc launcher,right? First, install original active launcher, then arc launcher,it will replace active and will work.
+1 When it says app not installed, try other app.
If not arc launcher, sorry for spam.

Uninstall both apps from your device and just push them to system/app without installing them. Then reboot your phone.
My explorer gives me an error that it doesn't allow me to move them to system/app, any idea?

Which explorer do you use? You need one with root access.
I have es explorer with root access and still it doesn't allow me to perform that operation.

I can't get this to work..I push both apks to system/app, wipe dalvik cache and reboot my phone..but once it's on I can't find the apps anywhere... If I check the folder with root explorer both apks are indeed in there..they just don't show up
The only way I got it to work was by installing both apps.. which was not a good idea as stated here
P.S.: I'm on Owain's 74 ROM

Maybe you have to fix the permissions of both apps via root explorer.
There has to be: rw-r--r--
hmmm..and how do I do that exactly?
Long press on the app -> permissions
You have to stick read read (-) in the first row
write (-) (-) in the second row
and nothing in the third
Than there has to be rw-r--r-- on the right corner of the app

You only get fc if you install the apps instead of pushing them to to system/app
Use the install guide on my first post and everything should work
But the widget only works with the new LG 3.0 launcher

The uninstalling is a known CM 10.1 bug. To prevent this, simply don't move apps to SD. And suppose it happens that a reboot removes these apps, go to data/app and remove any .odex files OF THAT PARTICULAR APP you find there. The app should install normally again. The odex file will have almost the same name of the apk of the app uninstalled, like com.imangi.templerun........
Another simple workaround is to simply rename the apk of the app you want to install to any name without spaces and keep it in your sd card. When you reboot and the app disappears, don't install it like a normal app, just use root explorer to copy the apk to data/app. The no space error will not show. Try it

Its a bug. no one knows why it happens. No one knows a solution. Put the apps on phone memory. Thats the only solution.

Just move everything to phone memory. In case it gets uninstalled after a reboot and you can't install it again, just copy the apk to data/app to get it installed. It's a bug, until it can be solved, use this workaround.

I'm not sure what's causing this. Try using another file explorer, the jrummy one is good.
